when Alex had got there to lena's apartment all the way across town, both kara & lena had drifted off to sleep. kara heard the knocking first. she slowly lifted herself off of lena, careful not to disturb her. kara winced in pain as she slowly got off the bed, she looked back to see lena snuggling back into the pillow kara had just used. kara smiled to herself.
kara slowly made her way to the door & looked into the peep hole to see her sister with a worried look on her face. she took a painfully deep breath & opened the door.
"Alex...," she got cut off by Alex embracing her in a big hug
"ouch please be gentle, everything still hurts."
"i'm sorry, i was just so worried about u. when lena called i wasn't expecting this at all. are u okay? what happened ?"
"cmon let's go sit, it's a long story & my back is hurting from standing. also be quiet, lee is sleeping in the room."
with that kara closed & locked the door behind her & her sister & led Alex to Lena's couch.
"do u want anything to drink?"
"no i'm okay, thank u."
kara slowly made her way to the couch, limping a bit. that didn't go unnoticed by her sister. 
"please kara, tell me what happened."
"i-it was william."
"what about william?"
"he hit me alex," kara laughed a bit at that "well he did more then hit me as u can see"
"kar, why didn't u tell me? i could of helped u!" alex said with tears in her eyes.
"i know alex, i wanted to tell u so bad, i wanted to tell someone; but i couldn't. he would get mad. i know he would of found out somehow. he would get mad at me when i would wear a dress to work saying "ur look like ur asking for it kara," imagine how he would of reacted when i would of told someone he was hitting me!" 
"i'm so sorry kara, i'm sorry i didn't notice before, i thought he was a nice guy, i would of never guessed he was doing this to u."
"don't apologize al, i know u didn't know, he'll i didn't even know ! i didn't want u guys to worry about me. i know he would of hurt u guys just to get at me, i just know." 
kara continued "he's jealous of lee. LEE. he thinks that she would hurt me because she's a luthor, but that isn't the case. she is everything but bad. she's the best thing that could of ever happened to me. she's helped me in so many ways & if i could i would give her the world."
alex smiled at that, she knew her little sister had a thing for the youngest luthor
"then tell her that kara, tell her how u feel. i bet she thinks the same thing about u."
"don't be rational, alex. she doesn't think of me like that, we're just friends to her. and maybe i'm okay with that if that means i don't lose her. i'm okay with being just friends if that means i can keep her a little longer."
"now look who's being rational, kara. u must be blind. lena has to feel the same about u because she looks at u like u hung the stars. u both look at each other like that. it's very obvious." 
———————————————————————————
lena woke up to a cold bed. she felt around for kara, but didn't find her. "maybe she's in the kitchen" lena thought to herself. she laid in bed a little longer registering what has happened the past 24 hours. she looked at the clock to her left & it read 4:27am in blue neon letters. she was pulled out of her thoughts by laughing. lena smiled. she knew it was the two sisters. she was glad alex took this situation with care. lena got up & went to the bathroom & did her business & after she stood in front of the mirror looking at herself.
"i will protect kara with everything i have, i will always be here for her. i will kill William with my bare hands if it ever comes down to it. no one messes with my kara." her kara she thought. she liked the sound of that. after being in the bathroom for a few minutes she decided to make herself heard to the sisters that were sitting in the living room.
"hey sleeping beauty," kara said noticing her first "have a good nap?" 
"yeah it was great when u were there but i woke up & u were gone so it was lonely." she said with a frown
"aw i'm sorry, i'll be sure to stay there longer next time to hold u." lena blushed at that one. so she decided to change the subject for her own good
alex just smiled at the exchange.
"hi alex, how are u."
"hi lee, i'm doing good, you ?
"i'm good, thank u. would u like anything to eat or drink ? i can make u guys something real quick?"
"no that's okay lena, i was just about to head out."
"ar- are u sure? i know it's late but if u want u could stay here, i have a spare bedroom."
"as good as that sounds, i have to get home to mags, she should be getting home here in a few minutes so i wanna see her before i work tonight, but thank u. i'll have to take u up on that offer some other time." 
kara was so happy that her sister & her potential lover got along well. they were the two people that mattered most to her.
alex & kara shared long hugs, promising to reschedule the next sisters night to soon. 
"i love u so much kara, i care about u twice as much. always be careful & call me whenever u need too, u know that. that goes for u too lena, i love & care about u & i want u well. 
"thank u alex, u too. give maggie my love" 
with that the three girls exchanged hugs, goodbyes & quick forehead kisses from alex. 
"i'm free" kara thought.
or is she ?
